The trial is one of the more muscular efforts to hold the powerful news outlet accountable for its role in spreading falsehoods
The blockbuster $1.6bn defamation suit between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox is set to begin Tuesday in a courtroom in Wilmington, Delaware, opening a six-week tribunal that has been one of the most muscular efforts to hold the powerful news network accountable for its role in spreading lies about the 2020 election.
Dominion is suing Fox News and its parent company Fox Corporation, for knowingly spreading false claims about its equipment after the 2020 election. Fox repeatedly broadcast outlandishly false allegations that the company had paid government bribes, switched votes and was founded in Venezuela to rig elections for the dictator Hugo Chavez.
